5 sprigs fresh mint, chopped (or 1 tbsp dried)

1 tbsp ume plum vinegar

2 cloves garlic, peeled and pressed

Cook quinoa according to package directions. Cool. Combine quinoa, parsley, tomatoes, cucumbers, garlic, green onions, and mint. Mix well. Combine olive oil, ume plum vinegar and garlic and mix into salad.

My girlfriend and I gave it a try last week. It was delicious. We used regular red wine vinegar instead of plum vinegar. And we changed the portions to about 2/3 of what the original recipe called for.
